Many of the caves and pothole entrances are situated around the valley of
Ease Gill,
with waters eventually draining in to Leck Beck and flowing on to the
village of Leck.

Easegill Caverns currently holds the unenviable record of having had the most recorded deaths as a cumulative total for any British cave over the years.
Needless to say the system is dangerous and prone to flooding, and should only be explored by suitably experienced cavers and potholers.
